Thanet 20 - 5/3/99

Rob Sargeant and Fraser Wildman showed that the London Marathon training was going well for both of them by recording excellent times at this exacting event. Mick Holmans put in a great first attempt at the distance although he did say that he felt drained in the last couple of miles. Mike Hedger, by contrast, said that he felt quite good at the end, which only proved that he wasn't trying hard enough! Steve Craswell did well in his debut, managing to finish ahead of marathon maestro Pete Greenwood.

This event, as well as being an established London warm-up, also comprised the Kent Champsionships and attracted 366 finishers in total. Full results are available at http://www.runnerswebuk.com/sea20_p1.html
